UniverSoul Circus 2010 National Tour
Continues, Headed for Savannah
Cirque de Soleil.
UniverSoul’s fresh, funky
approach to family friendly
live entertainment has earned
it a covenant spot as one of
Ticketmaster’s top ten most
requested family attractions,
along with other shows
including Disney on Ice,
Disney’s High School
Musical Ice Show and
Ringling Brothers Circus.
The UniverSoul Circus
was founded in Atlanta,

high tech, state of the art

Invest in Your Children’s Future and
Get a 2009 Georgia Tax Deduction
As families face their
financial situation each day,
looking a month, a year, ten
years or more down the road is
often the last thing on their
minds. However, with the
April 15th tax deadline quickly
approaching, Georgia residents
have an opportunity to invest in
their children’s future, and at
the same time get a 2009 tax
deduction.
The Path2College 529
Plan is a professionally man
aged and tax-advantaged way
for families to save for college
expenses, and Georgia taxpay
ers can receive a state income
tax deduction of up to $2,000
per year, per beneficiary,
regardless of their annual
income. Georgia taxpayers are
not required to itemize deduc
tions to make this adjustment to
income. Please note that a
transfer of funds from another
state’s 529 college savings plan
is not eligible for the Georgia
income tax deduction. The tax
deduction is available for con
tributions to new accounts or to
existing accounts.
The Path2College 529
Plan can be used to pay for col
lege tuition and other qualified
expenses, such as certain room
and board costs, books and
fees, and computer expenses
for colleges in Georgia and
nationwide. Any earnings in
the Path2College 529 Plan are
federal and state income tax-
deferred, and withdrawals for
qualified expenses are tax-
free.*
“Tax time is the perfect time to
begin thinking about budgets,
investments and financial plan
ning for the future,” said Chuck
Penuel, director of the
Path2College 529 Plan.
According to the U.S.
Census Bureau, college gradu
ates earn up to $1 million more
than high school graduates
over a lifetime.
The program web site
offers more information and
on-line enrollment at
www.Path2College529.com;
and the customer service center
at 877-424-4377 (toll free) pro
vides live college savings spe
cialists who can walk people
through the process.
“Once an account is set
up, additional contributions can
be made by check, periodic
electronic funds transfer, or by
using our Automatic
Contribution Plan that allows
parents to schedule regular
monthly, bi-monthly or quar
terly contributions,” said
Penuel.

UniverSoul Circus
encourages fans of all ages to
“Let Some Fun Shine In” as
it debuts the 2010 season
with an all-new show WE
PLAY TOO....MUCH!
Remember how much fun
you use to have playing with
family and friends?
UniverSoul Circus sets
the stage where generations
of family can come together
and enjoy each other dancing
in the aisles and singing
songs that span the last six
decades from Motown clas
sics to today’s Top 40. At
UniverSoul Circus guests
witness the feats of world
class acts like Chinese aerial-
ists performing a synchro
nized aerial dance never seen
before in the United States;
the hottest stunt basketball,
acrodunk players in the
world, from Holland and
Belgium; an entourage of
contortionists bend and twist
their bodies beyond human
limits; and a furious tiger act.
Whatever suits you,
whether it’s high flying tram
poline shenanigans; teeter-
board maneuvers or walking
on the wild side more than
twenty feet above the ring on
a razor sharp piece of wire,
UniverSoul Circus offers an
interactive experience like
none other.
At UniverSoul Circus,
the audience is always part of
the show. Fans are fore
warned because under the
Big Top of hip hop, you
never know when you might
wind up in the center ring—
doing your thing!
Actor, comedian,
impersonator, and
Ringmaster Anthony
Luewellyn a.k.a “Tony Tone”
returns full of play and swag
ger under the Big Top with
his quick wit, and unique
style. Tony has performed

Bad All by Yourself.
