Volunteering in my community has been the honor of a lifetime.
I would like to personally welcome you to NEMNU.org and hope you find it both informative and interesting. One of our most important missions is to get you, the resident, more involved with our community. We are working diligently to ensure that the needs of the NEMNU neighborhood are met and that you have a voice in its evolution.
I encourage you to participate at our Neighborhood Meetings, held every Third Monday of the month @7:00PM (Location listed under News & Events). We work hard to have guest speakers/presentations at our Neighborhood Meetings to inform our neighbors of issues that affect them each and every day. These can include (but are certainly not limited to) – the Rochester Police Department which attends each month with crime and crime prevention updates, visits from our Neighborhood Service Center representatives, City Counsel Representatives, and various guest speakers from around our city.
In the coming months we intend to put great deal of focus on our goals for the betterment of our neighborhood and welcome your input and involvement. We want to hear your comments, concerns, ideas and any suggestions you may have to improve the quality of life in our great neighborhood.

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 automotive service adviser for the Marina Auto Group in Webster New York. 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 three years. I was a board member at large previously. In 2021 I was appointed Vice-Chair of SEAC. Southeast Area Coalition. My passion has been volunteering to make our neighborhoods as vibrant and welcoming as possible. Our citizens and neighborhoods my number one priority.

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.
