Groups planning to file a hotel occupancy tax (HOT) fund application with the Snyder Chamber of Commerce should circle March 1 on their calendars.
Organizers planning to seek funds for events in May through July should have the application on file in the chamber office  by March 1. 
The HOT fund committee will hear presentations on the applications beginning at 5:30 p.m. March 11.
Beginning with HOT funds this year, the board of directors will withhold 12½ percent of what is allocated until the 60-day post-event analysis is submitted. 
Once the final report is submitted, the final payment will be sent  to event organizers.
The reason for the policy change was organizers not submitting the analysis in the past, which includes the number of people staying in hotels for events.
