Felicia Melton-Smyth was SSBL-Madison's biggest fan and cheerleader. On May 28, 2008, she was tragically take from us while on vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Felicia used her voice as the cruise director of the Shamrock Bar to make sure all of Madison's LGBT sports leagues suceeded by by promoting their fundraisers, hanging posters, and recruiting members. She served on Madison's Gay Hockey Board of Directors and was SSBL-Madison's Service Community Chair. The sucess and growth of Madison's LGBT sports leagues would not have been possible without her. As a tribute to our dear friend and our #1 fan we proudly wear the initials "FMS" on our shirt sleeves.
