A few of our movie-goers. There shirts said "Bit me, Edward....Please!"

The theater before the movie. I know it looks like it isn't very full, but TRUST ME! It WAS! The flash went off, but because of the angle and the lights, you can't really see clear to the back in the photo.

Everyone who came got a great gift bag (bracelet, nuts, candy), their ticket, a chance to win prizes, and a $5 concessions gift card.

We had a lot of fun, and the movie was AWESOME! Thanks to everyone who came (especially those who had already seen it twice!).

So what do you all think? Should we do it again in June for Eclipse? We'd love to hear your opinions!!

New Info

Hey all! If you read this and have a Facebook account, you can now friend us! It's just another fun way to interact with us and stay up-to-date with what we're doing.


Also, if you live in the Utah County area of Utah, and would like to join our group, we would love to have you!

We meet once a month, the third Tuesday, at 6:30 PM. Dues are $20 a month. The monthly dues go to funding each month's project, and the big annual projects like the scholarship and Festival of Trees. If we don't have enough money to do a project (like Festival) we will hold beneifts/fundraisers (like the Quilt Show Raffle in August, and the NEW MOON benefit party in 3 days).

T minus 3 DAYS!

We are all so excited! There are less than 3 days until our benefit showing of New Moon!!

There are still a few tickets left, so let us know if you want them. Email coltonsangels@gmail.com or call Joanna or Angie or Vicki at 801-423-1876


Also, we have so many door prizes! Here's just a small sampling of what we've got in store: a quilt, ruffley scarves, purses, candy gift bags, bracelets, aprons, lotions, and MORE!!

It really is going to be a great party. Make sure to wear your red, white, and black (Twilight colors). I guess you could dress up if you WANT to. haha. Several people have made their own Team Edward/Team Jacob shirts. From what I've seen on Facebook, blogs, etc., it is going to be awesome to see what everyone has done in preparation for this party!

9:30 PM Showing Cancelled

Unfortunately, due to a lack of interest, we will no longer be offering tickets to the 9:30 PM showing of Twilight Saga: New Moon.

Tickets are still available for the 7 PM showing. To reserve your tickets, please call Angie, Joanna, or Vicki at 801-423-1876 or email Colton's Angels at coltonsangels@gmail.com. When emailing, please include your name, contact information, and how many tickets you would like.

The movie will be playing at the University Mall Cinemark Theaters in Orem, UT on November 24th, 2009 at 7 PM. Tickets are $30 and include your seat, a gift card to concessions, and a donation to both Colton's Angels and Borto Deseret Orphanage. There will be LOTS of door prizes.

NEW MOON PARTY REMINDER

There are 37 Days left until New Moon opens.

There are 41 Days until our New Moon benefit PAR-TAY!

Tickets are still available to the PARTY. So! If you can't find tickets to opening night (which you probably can't because most places have been sold out for a month now) then call us at Sweetbriar Cove 801-423-1876 or email coltonsangels@gmail.com and get your tickets to the benefit PARTY!

Even if you have tickets for opening night you should still come to our party because it is going to be AWESOME! We have a TON of door prizes. And everyone gets a gift, too, for donating to the two wonderful causes.

Which causes, you ask? Well I will tell you!!

BORTO DESERET ORPHANAGE is an orphanage in Liberia (Africa) that is home to 40+ children who cannot be adopted because of Liberia's government rules. Their needs are incredibly basic: FOOD, CLOTHING, and MEDICINE.

COLTON'S ANGELS is a group of women who provide an annual scholarship to a graduating high school senior attending the auto mechanics program at a local college. This year they are entering a tree in the Festival of Trees (proceeds from the sale of the tree go to Primary Children's Hospital). They also have been gathering and/or making blankets, stuffed animals, coloring books and crayons, and other comfort items for a local hospital to distribute to children and families receiving treatment.

SO! Come party with us on the 24th of November!!! We're going to be wearing our red, white and black attire, deciding whether we are TEAM EDWARD or TEAM JACOB (or BOTH! in my case haha), enjoying a great movie based on a FABULOUS book (if you haven't read it yet, you should), and helping out TWO wonderful causes.

If you haven't seen all three trailers, then check them out below! (#2 is AWESOME, so is #3!!!)

NEW MOON PARTY

We are so excited to finally be able to announce our Twilight Saga: New Moon party!!!

On Tuesday, November 24, 2009 we will host two screenings of the highly anticipated second installment in the Twilight series: New Moon. Tickets will be $30 and include your movie ticket, concessions, a souvenir, and a donation to two very worthy causes: Colton's Angels and the Borto Deseret Orphanage.

The Borto Deseret Orphanage is located in Liberia, and is home to many orphaned and abandoned children, who need basic things such as clothing, food, medicine, and beds. Donations to the orphanage go to purchase these items.

Donations to Colton's Angels go to the Festival of Trees and annual Colton Ray Stewart scholarship fund.
