Ideas for Fundraising (for a school's Anime Club)?

I'm going to be President of my School's anime club and the last two years we were promised to go to a convention but it never happened, mostly because our current president was lazy and blah blah blah... so I need some ideas on how to Fund raise for an anime club. I've been looking into a Karaoke Night with prizes and the Entertainment book as well as FastTrackFundraising and need your ideas and opinions. Any help would be wonderful! I'm estimating about $3,000 for total cost I have over the summer to do some personal fundraising (outside of school) and then during the school year I have about half the school year to get the money. Thanks in advance!

Answers:
How about asking your club's members to make cute, crafty stuff for sale ? Since you can buy supplies for cheap as places like Michael, it would make a decent money. Or buy a whole lot at whole-sale (think Anime Conventions) and then re-sale them.
Baking is good too if your members can do it or just re-sell them.
For both of these, you should focus on small items and (if possible) related to anime. For example: anime bookmarks, anime cards, anime keychain/pin/button, chocolate cookies,candies...
Car wash is one of the biggest idea of all fundraisings.

Just make sure everybody know about your event, flyers + posters + talk to them + bulletin board + screaming on the school radio + black mail them (ok, maybe not the last one but you get the idea). More people know = more people come = more of them will buy = more money for you guys.
Good luck.
Many school use the Entertainment Book to help raise money. You can find more fundraising info. at www.entertainment.com. You can also give them a call to find any specific information you are looking for.

sorry- I forgot what the name was so I did both. We did their magazine subscription sale, each subscription is $12 (way cheaper than most of the cover prices) and your group gets $6 for each one.

To boost our sales, we offered an extra subscription of family fun magazine to be donated to the local women's shelter. even people who didn't want magazines themselves were willing to buy one for the shelter.

ALSO- if you're all into Anime, you should all do a little anime on the people at your school, and the teachers. print a few pages in black and white, then pre-sell the books at school to the other students, your club would end up growing, too. Everyone who is "in" the book would end up buying one.
