WhoaZone Set to Open at Michigan’s Holly Recreation Area’s Lake Heron

Located within a three-hour drive from three major Midwestern cities, Michigan's popular Holly Recreation Area gets ready to open the hottest thing to hit the beach since the bikini – the WhoaZone at Heron Beach. Made up of giant slides, towers, trampolines, ramps, wiggle bridges and other play features, the WhoaZone offer guests the chance to bounce, slide, climb, jump, and splash – from Memorial to Labor Day, 2018.

officially opening May 25th, The WhoaZone at Heron Beach is amongst the popular growing trend of active, on-water entertainment and recreational activity at public facilities across the USA. The park provides family fun and excitement for capable swimmers, 7 years or older, and offers 1-hour sessions for $15 per person. Tickets can be purchased by visiting http://www.WhoaZoneHolly.com . Group tickets, double-sessions, private events, and birthday parties are also available. Managed by Empire Recreation Management (ERM) the park is a joint venture with the state of Michigan.

"WhoaZone at Heron Beach is our second park", says Mike Martin, Regional Manager of ERM, "and we are confident this park will be as popular as our Whihala Beach Park in Whiting, Indiana was last summer. People love it", he adds, "and our joint venture with the state of Michigan means we are also providing a viable revenue stream, that allows state and local governments to better provide goods and services to their constituents."

The Holly Recreation Area off of Interstate 75, located between Detroit and Flint, is already recognized as an iconic nature-based summer activity area, and the WhoaZone will significantly increase the destination's "wow factor" and draw new users to experience the park for the first time.

Intouch Insight Launches LiaCX™ - New Customer Experience Management Software

Intouch Insight Ltd. ("Intouch") (TSXV: INX) today announced the launch of its new customer experience management (CEM) software, LiaCX™. The cloud-based software helps organizations with multiple locations in industries such as retail, restaurant, and hospitality, create more value and drive action from their customer experience (CX) programs through its patent-pending Action Campaign™ technology.

"Many organizations discover that it's easy to collect information about customer experience - what's difficult is being able to take swift and appropriate action based on that information. Without the ability to take effective action, organizations are missing out on a higher return on investment from their voice-of-the-customer programs," said Came ron Watt, President and Chief Executive Officer of Intouch Insight. "We developed LiaCX to make it easy for our customers to identify areas of their customer journey in need of focus, mobilize all levels of their organization to take the necessary actions for improvement, and track the impact of those actions on business outcomes."

Intouch Insight, which announced a 97% customer retention rate earlier this year, drew on over 25 years of experience collecting CX data for Fortune 500 brands, to develop its new CEM software.

LiaCX is built on modern technology designed to handle big data, and is mobile optimized. The software collects and combines data in real-time from sources such as surveys, mobile checklists, mystery shopping, operational audi ts, social media, and call centers, and rapidly integrates data from third-party systems like Salesforce, Oracle, and SAP. All data is mapped to the customer journey and artificial intelligence-powered features transform the data into meaningful CX insights. Organizations can easily take action on those insights to improve business performance using LiaCX Action Campaigns.

Action Campaigns allow LiaCX customers to:
● Create targeted campaigns to improve specific areas of the customer journey and business metrics
● Assign specific actions/tasks to employees at different levels across the organization and at different frequencies
● Verify whether or not actions were completed through integrated mobile checklists and photo capture
● Measure the impact of actions on specific business metrics in real-time

The launch of LiaCX follows the reveal of the Company's new branding and website.

National Pet Week Celebrates a Pet’s Lifetime of Health and Happiness

pets bring laughter, joy and love into people's homes without asking for much in return. As a token of appreciation, pet owners celebrate National Pet Week, which falls on the first full week of May. These seven days, spanning May 6-May 12 in 2018, remind pet owners to cherish the human-animal bond and to recognize responsible pet ownership. Pet owners can live out these values by following action items outlined by National Pet Week's theme this year, "Lifetime of Love—The Basics: Seven Days to a Happier, Healthier Pet." Adhering to this advice fosters a lifetime of health, happiness and love for pets.

The first day, May 6, highlights the importance of individuals selecting pets that mesh well with their lifestyles and making a firm commitment to caring for pets. Monday, May 7, encourages pet owners to socialize pets early and prep them for an array of interactions with places, activities, animals and people. This will make for positive experiences in any situation. Day three urges pet owners and their pets to engage in regular exercise, which will curb the obesity rate among dogs and cats in the U.S.

"An overweight or obese animal has a higher risk for arthritis, respiratory compromise, diabetes, skin problems, increased surgical risks, heart disease and a reduced lifespan," said Carol Hillhouse, DVM, DABVP, of Carson County Veterinary Clinic and High Plains Animal Hospital in the Texas Panhandle. "Your veterinarian is your best resource for determining whether your pet is in an unhealthy weight range and developing a plan to fight obesity."

Dr. Hillhouse's recommendation to visit the veterinarian encompasses the advice of day four, and Thursday, May 10, raises awareness of the pet overpopulation problem, which can be prevented by spays/neuters. Friday brings the suggestion of developing emergency k its for the unexpected incidents of life, such as natural disasters. The last day, Saturday, summarizes the week's advice, which is giving pets a lifetime of love and improving their quality and length of life by taking them in for regular veterinary exams and providing care.

National Pet Week was created by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) in 1981. Observed each year during the first full week of May, National Pet Week recognizes the human-animal bond and responsible pet ownership by encouraging pet owners to celebrate pet companionship, a mission also upheld by the Texas Veterinary Medical Association (TVMA).

Founded in 1903, the Texas Veterinary Medical A ssociation is a professional association composed of more than 3,700 veterinarians committed to protecting public health, promoting high educational, ethical and moral standards within the veterinary profession and educating the public about animal health and its relationship to human health.
