A MESSAGE FROM
DONALD L. MOONEY, CEO & FOUNDER
Our Company Core Values Are Essential

Our core values are important and crucial in creating a lasting business. They embody our mutual obligation to the moral and proper principles we believe are vital to our business reputation and progress.

While progress and revenue are important to our business longevity, our shared existence as a company is also a foundation for the well-being of our employees, families, and community. We have thrived due to our vision to make sure all facets of our business are directed by our company core beliefs that included a sense of purpose beyond making money and an obligation not only to the end-result, but the way those results were accomplished. 

First and foremost, values do not drive the business; they drive the people within the business. We need our core values to be adopted by everyone in the company to have meaning. 

Donald L. Mooney Enterprises Core Focus: “Making a difference in people's lives every day.” That is why we do what we do.

I hope everyone has a productive, safe and enjoyable summer!

Donald L. Mooney

A Message From Our President

 Hello again from San Antonio, Texas! 

We are honored to have you as part of our Donald L. Mooney Enterprises (DME) TEAM. I hope this newsletter finds you and your family in good health. Many blessings to you and your families.

Summer is here - during this time of the year, all of us travel and engage in many outdoor activities. Please remember - SAFETY FIRST! Don’t drink or text while driving, wear seatbelts, and don’t leave children or pets in the car. Enjoy the great outdoors, but always be safe and look out for each other. 

Also, during this time of the year, people tend to relocate. If you are a current employee, please check with your Program Manger to see if we have work for you at your new location. We would be honored to have you stay with us.

Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and “Making a Difference in People’s Lives Every Day.”


Kevin Kline, President

About 85% of people are allergic to poisin ivy. If you are one of them, avoid getting an irritating rash this summer by knowing how to recognize it. The resin in the plant's sap causes an itchy rash for humans once they have come in contact with it. Even though the popular saying of "leaves of three, let it be" is mostly true, poison ivy can take on different appearances that vary by season or the plant. Touching this plant will result in your skin swelling, itching and could possibly cause blisters on your skin. There are numerous home remedies found here.

Twelve Habits That May Be Ruining Your Sleep Quality
Per Reader's Digest

Finish your work early in the evening so that your mind can "turn off" before bedtime.

Don't try to catch up on sleep over the weekend! You can make up for some loss of sleep but you could mess up your sleep cycle.

Consider not checking your social media accounts before bed. The light that your device emits could disrupt the signal to your brain that it is time to sleep.

Reading a book or watching TV could also keep your body from realizing that it is time to sleep.

Brushing your teeth could give you a second wind from the activity alone and the minty toothpaste could also energize you.


Don't turn the heat up before bed. Experts recommend that you have your bedroom around 65 degrees to signal your body that it is time to sleep.

Resist the temptation to wear cozy warm pajamas to bed. It is better to stay warm with bedding so you can take it off if you get too warm in the middle of the night.

Address any pain without the use of medication, it can affect the quality of your sleep.

Time your workout right. It is best to workout in the mornings or afternoons because the endorphins may keep you awake if you workout to late in the day.

Drinking caffienated drinks late in the day could keep you awake. Cut the caffien at lunchtime to be safe.

Pass on the glass of wine just before bed, it can affect the quality of your sleep.

Late-night eating could lead to weight gain. If you are hungry, try eating cereal or a handful of nuts to stave off the hunger pangs.


HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!
