Donny Osmond, who has been a superstar since childhood, will perform in the Flamingo Ballroom on Feb. 16. Tickets are $19.95 and $24.95, call 800-435-8469.

It's hard to believe that Osmond is now 48 years old. He's been married to his wife Debbie for 27 years, and is also the father of five boys, ranging in ages from 26-year-old Don Jr. to 7-year-old Joshua.

Osmond started his illustrious career as a cherubic little boy singing on TV with his older brothers. Without a conscious plan, he has been working since the early 1980s and felt totally fulfilled with his Broadway-tune album "This Is The Moment" came out in 2001.

Many folks may forget that one of Osmond's greatest successes of his career was a Canadian and U.S. tour in the title role of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and Sir Tim Rice's musical "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat."

His multi-faceted personality has found him tempted to pursue an offer to race cars full-time on the professional circuit after taking first place at the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach Pro-Am. However, Osmond turned down a racing contract in 1991 to sign a six-month contract to do Joseph.

The popular American Veterans Speaker Program is moving to a new time and location at the Ramada Express and adding a free breakfast buffet with a donation to the American Heroes Foundation. Starting Jan. 31, the free program will begin at 7:30 a.m. (Nevada time) in the Santa Fe Room (near the Roundhouse Buffet).

After the speaker, you can enjoy a free breakfast buffet when you make a minimum $5 donation to the American Heroes Foundation and receive a meal coupon. Your donation will help the American Heroes Foundation reach its goal of raising a record $100,000 this year so that it may continue to purchase vans to transport disabled Veterans to their medical appointments.

The American Heroes Foundation is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization that supports recognized American Veteran causes.

The first speaker at the new time and location will be WWII WASP pilot and author Betty Strohfus, who will talk about the first women military pilots on Jan. 31.

After the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, the call went out for women pilots to help fly cargo and train male pilots. Strohfus along with about 25,000 other women applied to be a WASP (Women Airforce Service Pilots). Only 1,830 were admitted and 1,074 graduated from the demanding six-month training period at Avenger Field, Sweetwater, Texas. The WASPs were in service from September 1942 until December 1944.
