An Autumn Bonfire at Alki Beach Park will be presented by Providence Hospice of Seattle for families who have lost a loved one and asks them to share stories and remember loved ones who have died.

The event will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday Oct. 12, 2013, at Alki Beach Park in West Seattle. The group will gather at a fire pit east of the Alki Community Center, 5817 SW Stevens St., Seattle. Participants should follow signs that say "Safe Crossings Bonfire." A second bonfire will be built just for teens.

Participants are asked to bring a piece of wood or kindling to add to the fire.
