On Saturday and Sunday June 23rd to 24th the Rialto Masonic Family had a team participating in the Rialto Relay For Life held at Carter High School. Relay For Life is a 24 hour walk-a-thon that raises money to support the American Cancer Society and has been operating for many decades at many locations throughout the US. The Rialto Masonic Family has been participating with the Relay For Life in Colton for many years, primarily under the leadership of Tri-Star Chapter OES as the team captains. This year was the first working with the Rialto Relay For Life, which is a move closer to home and working more directly with the immediate community. In addition to walking for 24 hours, Eastern Star and the Youth Groups ran a game booth to raise additional funds and Inland Empire Lodge #306 operated the Child ID Program.
