THE NEMNU BOARD | North of East Main Neighbors United
Bryce Miller: President & North Winton Village Vice-Chair My name is Bryce Miller and l the president of NEMNU. I have owned my home in the city of Rochester since 2007 in the North Winton Village Neighborhood and I grew up in Suburban Chili. I was raised by a single mother who taught me what a strong work ethic was and is today. I was shown how to be responsible and how to get by and do well on what means was given to us. My father has always been a proud city of Rochester resident. I spent a large part of my childhood split between the city and suburbs. I was immediately drawn into Rochester city living due to its great diversity which includes its storied history of being inclusive to LGBTQ individuals. Being a gay male myself I found this to be very important that we live in such an inclusive city for those of all different backgrounds. Rochester has been a trailblazer for diversity and equal rights. As a full time profession I am the operations coordinator for Jaguar Land Rover Rochester. I have been the president of North of East Main Neighbors United (NEMNU) since 2011 and Vice-Chair of North Winton Village Association for the past two years. I was a board member at large previously. My passion has been volunteering to make our neighborhoods as vibrant and welcoming as possible. Our citizens and neighborhoods my number one priority. Yvonne Chiang: Vice President & North Winton Village Board Member Yvonne Chiang was born in Medina, NY and moved to Rochester when she was seven years old. She has been married for 32 years and has one daughter. Yvonne, her family and their great energetic dog, moved to Cedarwood Terrace in 2006. They adjusted well and enjoy living in the city. Yvonne has worked at the Classy Cookie and Deli on Park Avenue for the past 18 years. Yvonne has been a member of NEMNU for the past three years and in 2016 became Vice President. In 2018 Yvonne was elected onto the North Winton Village board. Diane Picciolo: Treasurer Diane was born in Rochester, NY an attended SUNY Delhi. Nine years ago she purchased her home on Macbeth St. from her Aunt and Uncle who previously owned the home for over 50 years. Diane worked for Johnson and Johnson as a Training Coordinator. She is now retired but works for Midtown Athletic Club part time as well as volunteers at Petra Place, a not-for-profit Christian counseling agency. When not working, Diane enjoys reading sewing, beadwork and cooking. Diane and her husband Simone have three daughters; Cara, Megan and Renee. Diane and Simone love city life, and often attend RPO concerts, theatre productions, art openings and dining at the many wonderful restaurants that Rochester has.

He has three grown children. In his free time, Jan enjoys going to live jazz / blues/ classical music concerts, and swimming or walking for exercise. Jan says, "joining NEMNU has been a great way to meet people in my neighborhood and work with them to help make it a better place to live".

That is approximately the number of households in the NEMNU Area! NEMNU LOCAL HISTORY
In the early 1900's the NEMNU area was part of Brighton (referred to as West Brighton). Jane Wood owned 27-1/2 acres, while familiarly-named landowners L.W. Hall, M. Berry and F.W. Maxson owned large plots. Starting around 1910, a few streets began appearing, but with different names than we’re used to. Macbeth St. was Stratford St., Cedarwood Terrace was Federal St., Packard St. was Bonner Place and Hall St. was then called Maxson St. There were three large nurseries located in the neighborhood. Glenwood Nurseries, Graham Nursery Co and Woodlawn Nurseries. By 1925, the NEMNU area had become primarily residential except for E. Main St. businesses. North of East Main Neighbors United is located in Rochester, New York.
