And also a measure of who has a lot of vacation days.
EDIT:
Problem: Many people have limited vacation days from their jobs, especially if they don't have many years with that company yet. Sometimes it can come down to taking a much needed [family] vacation or using the day for a FIRST event.
Solution: Have FIRST in Michigan approach corporations in the area and talk them them about this, and try to see if a solution can be worked out, such as one which allows employees to volunteer at one FIRST event (or actually, any 2-3 day community service event) without having it count towards their vacation days.
