Exciting Merrill news for those in Europe! Mary Osmond, Heather Osmond Hallows and her husband Kade, will be joining Merrill at his 50th Celebration event in Belgium on February 24, 2007!

Also, due to the success of “Shining Star”, a song performed by Heather in The Netherlands, she will be performing it again at the VIP happening! For those of you who weren't there, this song was written by Heather, Merrill and their friend Cliff Maag. Heather will also be performing with Merrill during the Black Tie Dinner Concert.

There have been many questions regarding the dress code for the Black Tie Dinner. They are wanting this event to be very special for Merrill as it will be his only personal 50 th Celebration in Europe, so they thought it would be nice to dress up and help make the event a little bit different than the rest. Please just dress as nice as you can. There is no obligation to wear expensive formal dresses; however, it is requested that that you don't wear Levi's or anything too casual. If you have any more questions regarding this please feel free to email Merrill's European Representative, Jenny Vliers.

There have been many requests for a photo shoot of this special occasion, and there will be an opportunity to have a short meet & greet with Merrill, Mary & Heather to have a photograph taken. The cost will be 25 euro per photo and it will be offered in a matching cover. You can pre-order your photo on www.blackbeareurope.eu. You do not have to pay for it at this time. More details will be forthcoming.

There are only 150 tickets available for this event through Black Bear Europe, so don't miss out as they're selling fast!!

Also, a link has been added to Merrill's European News section so you can now view the pictures of Justin and Heather's visit to the Osmond Gathering in The Netherlands online.

There are many great items listed in Merrill's European Store, so make sure you take a moment to see what's there.

Jenny has had a wonderful time talking with several of you over the past few weeks and getting to know you a little better. She hopes to be able to get to know a lot more of you soon!

The Osmond General Store has some new items including an exciting new raffle just in time for Christmas! Read below for a description of each item. The links to all of the items will be at the bottom of this entry!

First, we are excited to tell you about a raffle! Jay Osmond has signed and given us one of his favorite shirts! He wore the shirt in the UK in March of this year, and we are sure you will recognize it when you see the photo! The raffle also includes your choice of the UK or US version of the Osmonds Live London 2006 DVD, AND an 8x10 photo of Jay playing the drums. Raffle tickets are 3 chances for $5.00. The drawing will be held on December 10.

Speaking of Jay, I want to take this opportunity to remind you that his Pin Trader pin - Jay Playing the Drums - will be retired on December 1. We are getting down to the last of the quantity of this pin. Don't let it slip away from you!

Next, we were able to get approximately 2 dozen copies of the UT Health Magazine featuring Merrill Osmond on the cover. The interview was done in 2004, and Merrill speaks candidly about his depression and a holistic treatment approach! Once these are gone, these are gone for good!

We have the remaining inventory of the Osmonds Disposable Cameras that were made for the Osmond Brothers recent Vegas and Laughlin performances. These cameras feature Jimmy's caricature artwork of all six Osmond Brothers and the Osmonds' cartoon plane. Get ready to smile an Osmonds' smile with this 27-exposure camera with flash!

Direct from the UK, is the Osmonds Brothers' Scarf. This is the same scarf that you see waving above the audiences heads in the London 2006 DVD! The scarf is about 1 yd in width and perfect for your Osmond collection!

And finally, we have a limited number of the photo featuring Jay, Jimmy and Wayne that has been signed by each brother! This would be a great gift for a friend for even for yourself!

The Osmond Brothers - Wayne, Jay, and Jimmy - will be performing at the Branson Variety Theater in Branson, MO. in Broadway's Spirit of Christmas from November 1 through December 9.

Jimmy will also be performing in the same show in Reno, NV at the Eldorado Hotel and Casino the week following Thanksgiving, November 27 - December 3, and will then rejoin the brothers in Branson for the rest of their Branson run. (Jimmy will be performing in Branson from November 1 - November 26.)

In a previous announcement, we announced the Brothers would be performing at the Suncoast Casino in Las Vegas, NV, October 6, 7, 8. The Pin Trader Party and the Osmond Brother Get Together will be on October 7. The Pin Trader Party starts at 10:30 a.m. with the Get Together starting at 12:00 noon. Please note that the Get Together date has been changed from October 6 to October 7. There is no charge to attend either event, although you must be an Osmond Pin Trader member to attend the Pin Trader party.

Also on October 7, Becky Van Notrick is organizing a Fan Social at the Cheesecake Factory at 4:00 p.m. This event will be between the Get Together and the Osmond Brothers show at 7:30.

The Cheesecake Factory is located directly across the street from the Suncoast Hotel. Although this event is a separate event from the Osmond Get Together and Pin Trader Party, several people have expressed an interest in getting together and getting to know each other. Everyone is welcome to attend. The Cheesecake Factory offers a complete menu, and each person is responsible for paying for their own meal. Note: This is not an official event of the Osmond Brothers Get Together. It is not endorsed or sponsored by the Osmond Brothers and the Osmonds are not scheduled to attend. If you are interested in the event, please contact Becky directly by July 20, so that she can get a room reserved to accommodate everybody.

Also, Becky has two extra tickets for Friday nights show (October 6). The tickets are Table G front row seats. These are good seats for the show. She is only wanting what she paid for these tickets. If you are interested in the tickets please contact Becky directly.

We've been receiving a lot inquiries about when the Apollo DVD that the Osmond Brothers recorded live in Hammersmith, England will be released. It looks like the tentative release date has been moved to October. It's still a work in progress, but it will be worth the wait!

July 2, 2006 -

During their recent tour of the UK, the Osmond Brothers were presented with Bellagio watches from the Bellagio Time. The Osmonds were delighted and honored with the presentation, and appreciates what the company did for them. Below is some comments from the company.

Having been held up with delays on the M6, the boys were running very late for their sound check and setup. However, this did not stop them from making time to greet the large group of fans by the stage door on arrival. And, having been fortified by a plate of traditional fish and chips, they took further time out of their preparation to see Bellagio Time. "

Our company secretary has been an Osmond fan from the early 70's, and was privileged to be able to personally present the watches. The boys were so warm and friendly, and genuinely touched by the offer of the watches. So much so, that they invited her to stay as their honored guest to watch the show; an offer she could not refuse.

“It's hard to remain professional when you meet your childhood heroes, but the lads were so lovely, that they immediately put me at my ease. The show was just amazing, and I was singing along to songs I had forgotten I knew. I left the Apollo on such a high; it was truly a night to remember." - Gina Walker, Company Secretary.

It was deeply a huge pleasure and honor for Bellagio Time to be able to offer our new collection to the Osmond brothers. We felt that with all the hard work they all put in - especially Jimmy to Variety Club and other needy children's charities, that it was now our time to give something back, in order to show appreciation from all those people that they have helped.

June 28, 2006 -

A couple of weeks ago, a poll was posted about whether or not people were interested in Jay writing a book. The book would deal with his memories and experiences from his past 50 years in show business.

CHOICES AND RESULTS
- Yes, 466 votes, 98.94%
- No, 5 votes, 1.06%

Jay is so happy with the response from all of you about his book project. He is very excited, and has already started writing! His blog entry for this week has just been posted, and it is a sample of what will be in his book. Don't miss taking a look at Jay's blog this week. For questions about Jay's book project, please direct them to Terri Shoemaker.

There are just three days left to purchase tickets for the custom caricature by Jimmy - remember a portion of the proceeds from this raffle will be donated to the Children's Miracle Network to help benefit children's hospitals. The winner of this drawing will be able to get the drawing of their dreams, as it will be whatever they want it to be.

June 6, 2006 -

Jay has enjoyed posting in his blog each week, so much so, in fact, that it has sparked an idea to begin a new project. For some time now, Jay has tossed around the idea of writing a book. He's decided he would like to make that happen, with a goal to finish it by the end of 2007 (to coincide with the 50th anniversary of his career in show business). Keep on the watch for future updates as the project comes along. For questions regarding the book project, please contact Terri Shoemaker.

May 6, 2006 -

Jimmy, Jay, and Wayne will be taping a segment for "Branson Jubilee" in Branson at Mickey Gilley's Theater on Tuesday, May 9 at 5:00 p.m. The taping is open to the public and has room for a small audience. This is the only taping scheduled with the Osmond Brothers. Please do not call the theater for information about the taping, as the theater staff will not be able to help you.

Father Osmond is continuing to show some improvement - he has been released to rehab and he has taken a few steps. He is communicating better and his spirits remain high. He is enjoying the cards and well wishes and that everyone has been sending to him.

There is still plenty of time left for you to purchase raffle tickets for Donny's carticature, with the winner getting a free membership (or renewal if currently a member) into the Osmond Pin Trader Club. The caricature is 8x10 in size and will be sent rolled in a tube to keep it from getting bent or creased. Tickets are $2.00 each with a portion of the proceeds going to One Heart. The deadline to purchase tickets will be May 30 with the drawing being held on May 31.

Jimmy has completed a few more caricature drawings which will be added to the caricature page this weekend. He's having a lot of fun working on these drawings and his clients' responses are indicating they are enjoying them too!

Osmond Pin Trader Club Members - The next edition of the Osmond Pin Trader Newsletter will be sent out this next week. It is a special edition dedicated to Mother's Day and to mother's everywhere. Jimmy has a few little surprises that will be included in the next edition - including a great recipe from Jimmy's wife, Michelle - so you won't want to miss this next edition!

Craig Neil, will no longer be the opening act for the Osmond Brothers during the UK Tour. Craig is a very nice guy with a lot of talent and they really appreciated his friendship. When the Brothers were all sick with colds and sore throats, Craig would share his throat lozenges with them and Craig's mother even made some awesome chicken soup for them while they were on tour. He will be missed on the tour and the Brothers are trying to make his CD available at the rest of shows. The Brothers are sorry to see Craig go and they wish him the best as he pursues his career.

Jimmy is doing a television news interview for this evening's news in Nottingham - no other information is available so keep an eye on your local stations to catch the interview.

Four more news articles have been posted about the Osmond Brothers' tour of the UK. You can read the articles here.

March 7, 2006 -

Wienerworld is looking for some GOOD photos of the Brothers on tour to include in an article in a DVD trade magazine to promote the DVD of the Hammersmith show. Their deadline for the article is tonight, so if you have some GOOD photos that you can contribute, will you please e-mail them to me by noon (CST) so that I can forward them on to them? Please put "Magazine" in the subject line -

Afternoon Update
Sorry for the late notice, but I was just informed that the Brothers are doing an interview tonight on Anglia television on the 6:00 p.m. news. Hopefully some of you will be able to catch it.

The deadline has now passed for sending in photos for the Magazine. There are some very nice photos from which they will be able to choose from. I appreciate everyone in stepping in to help.

Take a moment to read this review of the Osmonds' performance in Manchester, and then leave your comments as to what you thought about the show! Let them know how you feel!

March 4, 2006 -

The UK Tour is off to a good start, and many people have been posting their experiences and photos from the shows on the Osmond.com and JimmyOsmond.com forums. Keep on top of the excitement by checking out the forums at least once a day.

Jimmy's Forum

Osmond's Forum

We are still collecting photos and experiences and will be posting them on the Brothers' website; however, there have been so many entries and photos shared, that in order to do it properly, we will be posting the online journal toward the end of the tour so that we don't leave anybody out - we've had a good response and want to encourage you to keep it coming!

From all accounts, the Tribute Dinner for Jimmy went very well last night - Jimmy was reunited with the cast from "I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here" , and also with Billy Pearce who performed with Jimmy in Boogie Nights and in the American Jukebox Show in the UK. Each of the Brothers' spoke at the Dinner and there were messages included from Donny, Marie, and Alan. Jimmy became a little teary eyed as his brothers each spoke about him, and Wayne explained why he felt he had a very strong bond with Jimmy and Merrill explained why Jay was chosen to be the drummer the group! You can read a great account of the night's events here.

Jimmy will be doing the TV show Family Fortunes (for those in the States, it's kind of like the game show Family Fued) - Michelle, Jay, Michelle's brother Scott, and Jimmy's niece, Ann-Marie will be on the show with him. As soon as we have more information, we'll let you know.

February 24, 2006 -

The Merdian Interview with the Osmond Brothers is online now at http://www.itvlocal.tv - on the right side of the screen click on the tab "Your Choice" and then click on Meridian South - Tonight - you have to fast forward through a lot of the broadcast as they are at the end of Part 1 - but the interview is definitely worth it. They show quite a few of the fans and talked to some on camera so you may recognize a friend or two.

They show some early concert footage that is not too familiar to those in the States, and they asked if Donny was going to show up during the tour - tune in to find out their answer!

At the end of the interview there is chance to win two free tickets to their Brighton show by answering a trivia question - and if you watched Jimmy in the Jungle or read the Jungle Journal on jimmyosmond.com you'll have no problem getting the correct answer! They will have another chance to win tickets Monday evening.

February 22, 2006 -

The Osmond Brothers have arrived in the UK! They had a wonderful reception at Heathrow and are looking forward to their first show in Portsmouth! They have a very early start tomorrow, Thursday February 23rd, when they are due to arrive at the GMTV Studios at approximately 6.30am.  We have been told they will be interviewed at 7.30am with a live performance at 7.40am.  Please note, these times are subject to change!

Two new articles have been added to the Press Release page as they were run in today's newspaper's in the UK. Special thanks goes to Jeanette Elton for her submission of the Guardian article.

We will be keeping an online journal documenting the Brothers during the UK tour. If you would like to submit your own experiences and photos, or share news articles and reviews of the tour, please submit them so that they can be posted for all to enjoy!

Tour Merchandise
The Tour Merchandiser has requested you bring ID to the concerts if you are planning to pay for tour merchadise by credit card. Many of the venues may not be set up for the new chip & pin and therefore ID will be required. As always, cash & cheques (with bankers card) are more than welcome.

Evening Update
Well, the excitement has definitely begun! As stated in a previous announcement, the Osmonds arrived in London earlier this morning. They were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd and some of them have shared their experiences and photos! Seems like Jay is sporting a new beard and photos have been submitted so that you can see his new look! You can see and read all about it here.

Also, added to the Press page are two articles about the Brother's arrival into the UK. A special thank you goes to Jeanette Elton for submitting the Guardian Article. You can read them here.

"Zena" has posted on the forum that she had talked to someone at Meridian television and they told her that the Osmonds' interview with them can be seen at this link: http://www.itvlocal.tv on Friday evening (24th). Once there, click on the box called Meridian Tonight- South Friday, after 7.00pm UK time. She thinks it will be there for 24 hours before the link is removed. This information has not been confirmed, but keep an eye on it so that you don't miss it!

February 21, 2006 -

Evidently, the publisher's of Hello Magazine have decided to release Jimmy's interview in another edition than the one being released today. Jackie Skinner is attempting to get the correct date and we will update you as soon as we can.

Pin Trader Party Locations
At last we have the information you've been waiting for! Please understand that although we would have liked to have had the locations more centrally located, there were a lot of factors preventing this from happening.

There is a possibility that further venues may be added, but these could be at very short notice and we cannot promise anything at this time. If we do add any more, we believe they will be around the same time of day. Hopefully this will help you to make travel arrangements prior to any further announcements.

These two pin trader parties have been confirmed and scheduled at the following locations:

Friday, February 24, 5:30pm - 6:30pm
The Dorchester Suite
The Marriott Hotel
St Michaels Road
West Cliff
Bournemouth BH2 5DU

The Dorchester Suite is in use prior to the event and therefore you are requested to NOT arrive at the hotel before 5:15pm. Anyone arriving before this time will be asked to leave and come back. You will find directions to the hotel here.

Friday, March 10, 5pm - 6pm
The Flagship Room
Lace Market Hotel
29/31 High Pavement
The Lace Market
Nottingham NG1 1HE

Again, please DO NOT arrive at the hotel before 4:45pm. You will find directions to the hotel here.

If you are planning to attend either event, please RSVP to Jackie Skinner and let her know how many will be attending. Remember that she will be on the road during the tour, and her computer access will be limited. Please only e-mail her one time and not repeatedly asking if she has received your e- mail. Your RSVP is purely for Jackie's information and you will not receive a reply. She just needs to get a count of how many to plan for. :-)

We hope that everyone has a good time during the tour and the pin trader parties, andthat you will all share your experiences with us on the forum or by e-mail!

February 19, 2006 -

There are two great articles to look forward to over the next week or so! The issue of 'Hello' Magazine featuring Jimmy, Michelle, and their children will be published this Tuesday, February 21. The following week, on February 28, 'Woman' magazine will publish their article on Jimmy.

From all reports Osmania was a huge success and everyone who attended had a good time. You can read everyone's various reports on all of the forums.

The raffle drawing for the Backstage Pass was KIM ALGER who was in attendance at Osmania. She is putting her friends names in a hat to pick her guest, and then will choose which venue to use her pass.

There were two runners up prizes - a Marie doll (which was also won by someone in attendance) and then an Osmond Brother's license plate which was donated by Tom Osmond & signed by the Brothers. The license plate was was won by DAWN SIMMONS, who bought her 'ticket' by email.

If you pledged money for the raffle, please send in your pledge to Karen Orwell. Remember, even if you didn't win the prize, the money raised is going to good causes. Please send your payment to:

MRS KAREN ORWELL
12 CANTERBURY CLOSE
RAYLEIGH ESSEX SS6 9PS

Karen prefers that you send a check rather than use Paypal as it saves on costs, but if anyone has a problem with that, please contact Karen directly: korwelluk@tiscali.co.uk

Over 1,200 tickets were sold in about 20 hours, which means a fantastic amount of money was raised for the charities!

February 17, 2006 -

TV Alert -
The Osmond Brothers will be featured on the UK Television show, "GMTV" on Thursday, February 23. This schedule is subject to last minute changes, but it is currently being advertised on this date. Check your local listings for time and channel.

Newstand Alert-
Jimmy and his Hummy Bear is featured on the cover and in an interview with 'Teddy Bear Times'. The magazine was released on the UK newstands on February 14. We have been in contact with the distributor of the magazine, and we will be able to offer the magazine through the Osmond General Store. The magazine is not due to hit the U.S. newstands until March 7; however, we are accepting pre-orders for the magazine. By pre-ordering the magazine, you are reserving a copy which will ensure that we have enough to go around. We will only be ordering a few magazines over the amount of the pre-orders. We currently do not have a graphic for the magazine cover, but as soon as we get one, we will post it.

More good news! All of the pins that were on Pre-Order (except for the Valentine's Hummy and Lucky Hummy) came in today - a week earlier than expected. As soon as we get the Valentine's Hummy in stock, we will start shipping out all of your orders. I'll keep you updated as to when the Valentine's Hummy becomes available.

We have introduced the first pin set in the Osmond General Store. The 2005 Christmas Pin Set is a limited edition collectible pin set - it has been limited to just one hundred sets and has been hand numbered. The pins have been framed in an attractive 5x6 display case and each set has been personally signed by Jimmy. The pin sets have had an overwhelming response since being introduced a few days ago, and we are down to under half of our quantity. Don't miss the opportunity to include this special edition set in your collections - with its limited availability and Jimmy's signature, the pin set is sure to go up in value!

February 12, 2006 -

If you have not renewed your 2005 membership, today is the last day for that option. The renewal option will be taken away tonight and if you decide to rejoin at a later time, you will have to start over as a new member. Don't miss out on the last opportunity to save $10.00 off the new membership price.

Jimmy is pleased to announce the release of the newest pin through the Osmond Pin Trader Club - Lucky Hummy! Lucky is the third pin to be released in our Holiday Hummy series and is perfect for St. Patrick's Day. He is available on pre-order with an expected ship date of March 7th - you should receive it just in time for St. Patrick's Day on March 17th!

Please note that due to so many pins that have been released on Pre- Order in the past month, we will NOT be able to combine this pin with your previous orders. This pin will be sent separately from your other pre-order items.

Also, I want to remind you that the Merrill pin is now in stock and if you order now, there is time to get the pin before the UK tour! Jimmy says that Merrill was very excited about the pin when he saw the final product - we think that you will really enjoy the pin as well!

Yesterday, I announced that Jackie Skinner will be at the Osmania event on February 17th - the date was incorrect. Although Osmania is scheduled for February 17th and 18th, Jackie will only be there on February 18th.

Around the first part of March, we will start accepting new ideas for pins. You MUST be a pin trader member in order to submit an idea. I will send out an e-mail around the end of February explaining how to submit your ideas. Remember, if your idea is selected you will win the original artwork for the pin that is submitted to the pin production company signed by Jimmy. Last year, Carol Hooten won the artwork for the Jay pin just for submitting her idea! So start thinking about what kinds of pins you would like to see in the future so that you'll be ready when the announcement comes!

February 11, 2006 -

There's just one day left to order your Pin Trader Starter kits and to guarantee shipment of your pin trader memberships in time for the Pin Trader Parties if you are planning to attend.

Jackie Skinner is finishing up the details on the locations and we should have an announcement for you soon on where the Pin Trader Parties will be held. Jackie will also be attending "Osmania" - an unofficial FSG event in the UK on February 17. She will have some of the pin trader starter kits available at this event if you would like to join up there.

Jackie will not have any pins at the Osmania event, but Jimmy will be bringing some with him over to the UK for the Pin Trader Parties. He will only be able to bring with him the pins that we currently have in stock as the pins on pre-order will not get here in time for him to bring them.

We have sold completely out of the very first pin trader pin - the Osmonds' 70's Logo. We have retired this pin and it will no longer be available for purchase. There were only 1000 of these pins produced and this pin now falls into the category of a collector's item. The 70's Logo Pin was a part of the starter kit when you joined the Pin Trader Club, and is now being replaced with the Osmond Family Theater Logo Pin.

The Merrill Pin is now in stock. For those that ordered the pin and didn't want it held to be sent with other items, your pins will be sent out this week.

By the first part of next week, we should have the very first pin sets in stock. The pin sets are something new and are limited editions of 100 sets.

The first pin set is the 2005 Christmas Pins that been framed/boxed into a beautiful display set - they are hand- numbered and have been signed by Jimmy on the back. The 2005 Christmas Pin Set retails for $35.00 and the Pin Trader Price is $30.00.

As we mentioned in a previous update, for every Pin Set that is released, all current pin traders will be entered into a drawing to win one of the sets. We have had our first drawing for the first set - and we are pleased to announce that Gerry Ferry from the UK has won one of the 2005 Christmas Pin Sets. Congratulations Gerry - Your prize will be sent to you this week!

We have had a good response to the upcoming Pin Trader Parties and we will be able announce the locations of the parties to you soon. I just want to remind you that if you are planning to attend the Parties, you must have a current membership in the Pin Trader Club.

The deadline to ensure your membership is processed and sent to you on time, is February 12. This date is also the deadline to renew your memberships if you havent' done so already. After February 12, if you decide to renew your membership, you will have to start over as a brand new member.

Jackie Skinner will have some of the starter kits available at the door at the various pin trader party locations for those who would like to purchase them at the door.

Jimmy gave an interview with The Liverpool Echo last week to talk about The Variety Club Tribute Dinner in his honor. The interview is due to be published this Thursday, February 2nd.

Also, we've had some inquiries as to when the Osmond Brothers will be arriving in the UK. They will be arriving at London Heathrow Airport at Terminal 3 on Wednesday - February 22nd - 07:55am - Flight UA0928. If you get the chance to be there, they would love to say hello!

Jimmy is very excited to announce his plans to hold the first of his Pin Trader Parties during the UK tour! These will be held at selected locations and full details will be announced soon.

There will be no charge to attend the parties, but you MUST be a member of the Pin Trader Club in order to participate. Your pin trader membership card is your ticket to the party. There is no limit to the number of parties you can attend, but you must have your membership card in order to gain entry. No one else will be allowed in the room other than pin trader members. There will not be a professional photo opportunity, but you may bring your own cameras for photos.

If you are currently not a pin trader member, there is still time to register online at the Osmond General Store and get your membership processed and sent to you before the tour. Although the you may join the Pin Trader Club at anytime, the deadline to register in time for the UK tour is February 12. We are also extending the renewal deadline to this date as well. So if you were a member last year, you will still have a chance to save $10.00 off of the new membership price in order to gain entry into the parties. No renewals will be accepted after February 12, so if you miss this date, you will have to start over as a new member.

In case you miss the deadline to register for the club, Jackie Skinner will have a limited number of membership starter packets available at each party location to sign up at the door.

Hello Everyone and Happy New Year! We hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas season and is now ready to start the year of 2006! New years always bring about new beginnings, and new beginnings always come with change. Changes can be challenging, but they can also bring about good things. The Osmond Brothers have been making plans for 2006 and we are also making changes.

As many of you are aware, Merrill will be pursuing some solo efforts this year and we fully support him in his endeavors. He belongs on a stage and we believe that he has made the right decision to continue with performing.

Wayne, Jay, and Jimmy will be working on some projects together and Merrill will also join them periodically throughout the year. With the changes in our line-ups, we realize that we need to promote the Brothers differently, and we need to simplify things in the process.

A major change that you will be seeing is a new official website for the Osmond Brothers located at www.osmondbros.com. The website has a new look and a new feel. This is where you can get the latest news as to what the Osmond Brothers are doing.

We are excited to tell you that the Osmond Brothers Official Forum has moved back to Osmond.com. We have created a folder for you to be able to discuss the Osmond Brothers, as well as ask any questions you may have. Merrill and Jimmy will still have their own forums located on their own websites. All links will be available on Osmond.com to take you to the correct websites.

We will be sending news updates through "The Osmonds" group e-mail list and you will be able to find a link to the group at the bottom of the news page. This is the same e-mail list which is used by Osmond.com, so if you are on that list, you will receive the latest news.

The official store for the Osmond Brothers is the Osmond General Store. We are always adding new things to the inventory and can promise you A+ Customer Service.

We thank you for your support as we go through this transition. We are looking forward to what 2006 has in store for us, and are looking forward to seeing you all throughout the year. We hope everyone has a great year!

Love,

Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay, and Jimmy Osmond
