I would like to introduce myself to you. My name is Tim Breza (no known relationship to Father Paul Breza) and I was elected President of the Polish Museum’s Board of Directors.

Many of you may have seen me around the museum as a volunteer guide and as chairman of the Apple Festival.

My background is long and varied. I was the owner and sausage maker at Tushner’s Market located in the East End of Winona’s Polish fourth ward for 25 years. I also served as an elected city council representative for 22 years on Winona. I have experience working for Governor Jesse Ventura administration in Saint Paul.

My wife Mary and I have been married for 46 years and have a son and daughter who have three children.

I look forward to serving the Museum membership in the future with new ideas, while keeping our heritage strong.

I will need tour help and hope you find time to volunteer as there are many ways to help. Give me a call (504)454-3431) to talk about your ideas and how we can make them work. As a team we will make the museum better.
