Trivia, anyone?
At Elements, we listen to you. That’s one of the reasons we now have to hire two buses to bring our cleverest residents to a monthly trivia night out of town. It’s fun, but also a great opportunity to discuss and debate the right answers – which is probably why it’s become such a popular […]
Music and Lights
Whatever your taste in music, you’re spoiled for choice at Elements. In the past we’ve enjoyed a Bee-Gees tour, Element’s home-grown music shows, and had our own DJs provide the best tunes for countless get-togethers.
