North East Main Neighbors United - NEMNU

Next NEMNU Meeting: February 20, 2023. 7 PM 1933 East Main St.

Speaker: Courtney Klee, Executive Director 490 Farmers.

Before they became an urban farm, the state-owned plots at Meigs and Broadway were just unkempt fields of grass. But 490 Farmers brought life to the land, which is situated adjacent to Interstate 490, hence the group’s name. The project started in 2017 as a community garden with 10 plots and a shed. It now has 55 plots for rent; a Children’s Garden; a Free Food Forest with fruit trees, berry bushes and vegetables; a flower farm; beehives; a free food stand; and more. It hosts a weekly farmers market and provides fresh food to three families each week.

5.11.22 Consider Donating!
Hi Neighbors!

It is so nice to see our neighbors emerging from their homes after this long winter and unprecedented hardships and start working in the yards, planting flowers and attending to general sprucing up. We have many new neighbors in our area! Welcome!

It is also time for renewal of your yearly NEMNU Neighborhood Association dues. $10.00 for an individual, $15.00 for a family and if you are a business owner $25.00 which entitles your company name to be added as a business supporter on our website.

Your dues are used for neighborhood beautification, new planters and flowers that are placed around the neighborhood as well as supplies for neighborhood social events. Your support makes these and other valuable services possible.

In addition to your financial support, won’t you consider attending the neighborhood association meetings on the 3rd Monday of the month at 7:00 p.m. These meetings are held at the Neighborhood Service Center located at 1933 East Main Street. Our meetings have been put on hold until we can gather again safely, so please be on the look out for postings about upcoming meetings through Facebook, as well as the NEMNU website, www.NEMNU.org

If you would like to participate in other ways, or have ideas or suggestions for your neighborhood association, please free to send us a note at www.nemnu.org. We always love to get new volunteers and fresh ideas.

If you are unable to attend our monthly meetings when they start up again, please consider sending your dues to Diane Picciolo at 99 Macbeth St., Rochester, NY 14609 and I will provide you with a receipt for your dues for 2022-2023.

11.10.16 Statement on the Burning of Pride Flags in the Neighborhood.
As you may have heard on social media, print, or on television, there were at least two acts of arson this week in our North Winton Village neighborhood. Not only was this arson, this was also a hate crime. At least two Gay Pride Flags have been burned off while still attached to neighbors' homes. Confirmed are one on Atlantic Avenue and one on Marion Street.

As a neighborhood, we will not tolerate hateful acts towards our fellow neighbors. We will also not tolerate any kind of property crime in our area. North Winton Village has had a proud history of supporting and looking out for one another in times of need. We are all neighbors, and many of us are also friends. That is what makes us strong and the best neighborhood in Rochester — not because we always agree, but because we all want the best for our neighborhood and our neighbors. There have been many neighbors and friends who have reached out asking what they can do or how they can help. If you have a flag or choose to purchase one, display it and show we stand united against hate and crime in our neighborhood.
