With gas prices what they are today owning a scooter would go a long way in soothing the pain in filling up your tank with gas. With that in mind, the Alzheimer’s Association in Quincy is currently selling raffle tickets to win a brand new 2013 Yamaha Vino Scooter. The scooter was donated by Sullivan Auctioneers to the Alzheimer's Association, something Dan Sullivan has been kind enough to do over
