“Is This Progress?” Buttons Available

There are buttons available at The Carrot Community Arts Coffeehouse at 9310 118th ave, as well as Urban Bridge Church and City Centre Church during their Sunday morning gatherings. The Carrot is a great place to stop for coffee anyways, so drop by, grab a free button from the table near the front, and carry the question with you wherever you go these next two weeks.
