 The following are a series of photos from the free performance of Isaac Bramblett at the Watkinsville Jittery Joe's a couple weeks ago in a performance designed to heighten awareness of ACTION, Inc. being moved out of this area, and the need for a local headquarters for this important group. It would be nice to find a new area around here for this referral agency. It helps refer families in need with the assistance including food and shelter.  According to Oconee Patch:  Action Incorporated is located at 4951 Macon Highway (441). The focus of Action is to maintain a food pantry for referrals and help needy families during financial crises with counseling and budgeting. Action receives federal, state and private grants.  Fax:   706-769-1139 Hours:   Mon, Wed, Fri, 8am - 1pm; Tue, Thu, noon - 5pm; Sat, Sun, closed Handicap Accessible:   Entrance at back of building Founding Date:   1970 Parking:   Free lot Scope:   Loc...
