Meet Chubu Walkathon Volunteer - Joe Sichi

Walkie Walrus • Apr 17, 2019

2019 Organizer of Food Vendors

Joe Sichi is a busy guy!

Joe, an ACCJ Member, has worked for the past 20 years as a lecturer with Aichi Prefectural universities. He is also co-owner of The Rock Aussie Sports Bar & Grill , with restaurants in Nagoya and Kobe, as well as co-owner of a local live house - GC Live. But Joe is also extremely involved in the community and volunteers selflessly with a number of worthy causes. He is a founding organizer of Aichi Vision - an annual Charity Film Festival benefiting local children's charities. Joe is very active in local theatre, on stage and off, having filled virtually every possible role, at one time or another, including actor, playwright, director, set-builder, and even corporate sponsor!

And of course Joe has been a Walkathon volunteer since as long as we can remember. At the 2019 Walkathon, Joe is in charge of organizing the food vendors. It's no small task, but it is right up his galley...er..alley as Joe is, himself, a Food Vendor offering up Aussie delights from The Rock !

The Walkathon Mascot is Born!

Did you know?
The creative mind that he is, it was Joe who thought up, designed, had built, and paid for the Chubu Walkathon mascot, Walkie Walrus !

The Walkathon appreciates Joe's contribution and values his undying support.

Always seeking new or unique food vendors!

If you, or someone you know, has a shop that serves up tasty comestibles that you would like to offer for sale at the Walkathon, please consider having your own food booth or truck.
