The Gloucester Rotary has named Dr. Michael Sarraf and Serena Low as Paul Harris Fellows, the prestigious award named after the Chicago lawyer who founded the Rotary movement in 1905. Sarraf was selected by a Club committee of previous recipients of the award, while Low was chosen by members of the Gloucester High School Interact Club, the very active group of Junior Rotarians. Sarraf and Low will be honored at the Paul Harris Distinguished Service Award Dinner on June 10, 2026, at Cruiseport Gloucester, located at 6 Rowe Square in downtown Gloucester. The event will begin with a social hour at 5:30 pm, followed by dinner at 6:30 pm.
