Anna's picks:

Each tells a story of war or returning from war, and the event will feature a question-and-answer session with the directors and subjects after the screening. The evening begins at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, with the program from 6:30 to 10 p.m.; $15 general admission, free for veterans.
• Enjoy a unique poetry performance at Blank Page Poetry – Waters Avenue: Voices Along the Corridor. The performance blends poetry, music, dance and digital projection as communites along Waters Avenue share their perspective at St. Peter's Episcopal Church on Skidaway Island, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday; free.
• Snag some fashion for a cause at Grab a Bag for Kids, a charity luncheon and purse auction benefitting Horizons Savannah, which provides programs for students from low-income backgrounds. The silent auction begins at 11 a.m. Friday, with the lunch at noon; $35.
• Eat your fill at the Port Wentworth Oyster Roast, BBQ and Music Festival. The fun includes live entertainment and activities for kids from 3 to 9 p.m. Saturday, behind Renasant Bank on Highway 21; free.
