Welcome to Ancient City Temple No.63 located in the beautiful Oasis of Daytona Beach, Florida home to the "World's Most Famous Beach." Ancient City Temple is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization whose mission is to A.C.T. Now (Active Community Teams) to uplift our community through various programs. Those programs include our "National Diabetes Initiative" or NDI, Shriners As Mentors (S.A.M.), and Student Aid Program which assists low-income students who have achieved academic success in high school but lack the funding to fulfill their dreams of Higher Education.

What does it mean to be a Shriner? Shrinedom is a Fraternal, Social and Charitable Organization that teaches its members how to strive for excellence through self-improvement, enjoyment and unselfishness. The International Organization which was established on June 3, 1893 (aeaonms.org) is 119 years old and takes great pride in its Auxiliary, which is composed of wives, sisters, mothers and daughters of the membership officially styled, the Imperial Court Daughters of Isis. Worldwide the Fraternal Shrine Family has a membership of approximately 35,000 in more than 230 Shrine Temples and 200 Courts, throughout the Continental United States, Canada, Germany, Italy, England, Spain, Hawaii, Japan, Korea, Guam, Thailand, Panama, and the Bahamas to name a few.

As Potentate, I assure you that this Temple will commit itself to serving the Citizens of Volusia, Flagler , Lake, Seminole(Deltona, Sanford) and St. John Counties through our Charitable programs. We have a full agenda in place in 2012 and we look forward to serving the community in the capacity befitting men of Noble stature and lineage.

Thank you for having interest in us and we ask that you partner with us in our community efforts.

“If we do not act, we shall surely be dragged down the long, dark and shameful corridors of time reserved for those who possess power, without compassion, might without morality, and strength without sight.”
