The 2005 Marine Corps School of Infantry Patriotic Rally, hosted by the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce, gave over 2,000 Marines who will not be going home for the holidays, something to celebrate. A car show, food, festivities and prize giveaways were the highlights of this first annual event. Look for the full story in the January issue of the Carlsbad Business Journal. For more information on this event or other Armed Service Task Force events, pleas call Michael Babowal, Director of Government Affairs for the Carlsbad Chamber at (760) 931-8400.
