October Theme: Village Clean-up

A big thank you to everybody that participated in our June clean -up day.  It was obvious to see on the day that sweet papers were the majority item that we had to pick tip.  So if we could educate our children to bring their litter home with them it would go a long way to keeping our village clean.  We plan to have our second clean up day in November.  Notification will be on the next publication of the Carraig-na-bhfear newsletter.  Veronica Collins.
