Dear friend, Amidst myriad questions, dilemmas and thoughts - some of which I've shared with you at times - some dreams do begin to materialise and it takes a community to transform them completely to a reality. You have been a part of that community in your own way, contributing in your own way and today I ask you to be part of such a reality.
I am keen to share the journey of awareness, consciousness and responsibility towards health, livelihoods and nature and enrich our lives. One step in this journey is the reStore collective. With a focus on promoting organically grown food and sustainable livelihoods, we hope to bring little changes in the way we consume and in the way we relate to the world around us. It would be my greatest joy to have you present for the launch of *reStore *and take home memories of a joyful evening. Do mail/call me to reserve your dinner passes and most importantly *spread the word!!* ** Warmly, Rohit (9380569780) reStore health • livelihoods • nature We are delighted to invite you to the *Launch of reStore **with a**** Celebration of Traditional Foods * at *Shastri Nagar Welfare Association Hall *(Tel: 2446 0822) 18/11 5th Cross St., Shastri Nagar Adyar Chennai 600 020 On *Saturday, February 16th 2008, 5.30 to 8.00pm* *Please contact reStore for your dinner passes* http://restore.org.in Tel: 94441 66779 or 98844 09566 reStore (http://restore.org.in ) is a new community organization of people interested in activities that promote healthy living, sustainable livelihoods and conservation of nature. reStore is to be inaugurated on Saturday February 16th 2008 at a function in Adyar.

With this in view, the organization is creating a network of retail outlets that promote sustainable products including organic food, books, household items made from eco-friendly material, handspun and natural-dyed organic textiles, gardening inputs and health products. Products will preferentially be sourced from local organic farmers, self-help groups, organizations promoting livelihoods of marginalized people, and traditional artisans and weavers. reStore plans to engage with people via a variety of activities such workshops, farm visits, film screenings and organic gardening sessions.
