The Field Research Study Group A is planning to relaunch the "Emotional Outreach Project," which appears to be even more necessary and appropriate today than it was when it was first initiated in 2002-03.
To give you background, the "Emotional Outreach Project" consists of a series of business card-sized vouchers, which I distributed free of charge and with disinterest to individuals, under various controls and using specified variables.
On one side of the cards, in bold black ink and all capital letters, an emotional state, response, stage, trait or process (hate, joy, schadenfreude, cold-bloodness, selflessness, horror, indifference, etc.) appeared, with the clear non-bolded caption "Free Emotional Voucher" beneath it.
On the flip side, originally the cards noted
The relaunched versions will be similar to the second edition, and a full sheet of cards, printed and signed, will be offered free of charge (to be sent by US Postal Office mail) to the first ten people who 1) express an interest in receiving them, and provide a valid address; 2) agree to provide the name and address of at least one other living person you personally know who should receive 1 (one) of the vouchers [not a sheet]; 3) and in your e-mail stating that you would like to receive a sheet and providing your name and address make it clear that you are suggesting a candidate for positive outreach and not for the purposes of harassment, vandalism, or any other negative or problematic reason (that could be so construed or that violates any pertinent laws or statutes in any states or regions of the United States of America and its legal jurisdictions). Basically, I'd like this stage of the project to benefit those who might appreciate it.
As soon as the first ten people have responded, no further names will be accepted until the next stage of the project. Thank you for participating!
Update: Slowly but surely we're getting there. Please click on the word "e-mail" itself, which is hyperlinked, to sign up!

Dear friend, please accept this emotional voucher. Although it possesses no monetary value, you should feel free to draw upon it at any point, particularly if you believe you lack sufficient personal reserves. Acknowledging and managing one's emotions is crucial to psychological and physical well-being.In the second version of the cards, quotes on the emotions or the passions of the soul by a range of figures, including Arnold Bennett, Eric Hoffer, Plato, Spinoza, and others, were appended.
